Creating a New Vision of School Psychology: Emerging Models of Psychological Practice in Schools.

Talley, Ronda C., Ed.; Short, Rick Jay, Ed.

The first, and most prominent, section of this publication consists of eight digest papers which offer several perspectives on new models for psychological practice in schools. The topics addressed in the digest series reflect key issues confronting psychologists as they struggle to increase their responsiveness to educational challenges in America's schools. Digests are as follows: "Creating a New Vision of School Psychology: Emerging Models of Psychological Practice in Schools" (Talley and Short); "Psychological Services in the Schools" (Kamphaus); "Working with Diverse Learners and School Staff in a Multicultural Society" (Sanchez, Li, and Nuttall); "Health Services in the Schools: Building Interdisciplinary Partnerships" (Paavola, Cobb, Illback, Joseph, and Torruella);"Redefining Doctoral School Psychology" (Short and Talley); "Establishing School-Based Internships in Professional Psychology" (Nelson); "Psychological Practice in Schools: System Change in the Heartland" (Reschly); and "Education and Health Care Advocacy: Perspectives on Goals 2000, IASA, IDEA and Healthy People 2000" (Talley and Short). The second section presents results of an extensive search of the ERIC database on each of the major topical areas covered by the digests, along with instructions for obtaining the full-text articles and documents. The third and final section is the "ERIC/CASS Resource Pack," which is intended to extend the reader's knowledge of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), both as a consumer/user of ERIC as well as a contributor of papers and resources.
